John Pollard was born in 1909 and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, in the western reaches of the Canadian wilderness.
Horse racing is a seasonal sport, and Pollard was always on the move, traveling to Canada in the summer, California in the fall and spring, and then to Tijuana in the winter.
The highlight of Pollard's racing career came in 1940, when he rode Seabiscuit to victory in the race that had twice eluded the horse, the Santa Anita Handicap.
